Eastern Victoria Region aged care

Tom McINTOSH (Eastern Victoria) (18:21): (1704) My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Ageing, and the action I seek is for the minister to provide an update on two major aged care upgrades in Eastern Victoria. Work started in October on the new $45.4 million residential aged care facility, delivering 38 new beds to replace the old Lochiel House and Waratah Lodge buildings at Orbost Regional Health. The Allan Labor government is also investing $69.7 million for a new residential aged care facility in Maffra, which will feature single rooms with private ensuites as well as shared common spaces so residents can socialise.
